The food is just as authentic and delicious as before. We ordered the Guo Bao Rou, Spicy Boiled Beef, dumplings, and shredded potatoes. Every single dish was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The portions are huge. Two of us ate until we were full, packed up the leftovers, and seriously got another entire meal out of it. Total bill was just over $70, which is an insane value for this much good food nowadays. Highly recommend checking them out!

There is some dining space though their business revolves mostly around takeout/delivery. Needless to say, they're owned and staffed fully by a local family so support local! For those working in the Oak Brook/Downers Grove area, Lucky Wok is a good lunch delivery option. There seems to be a dearth of Chinese takeout within delivery distance relative to the availability of other excellent sit in restaurants. You can't really go wrong with any of the dishes. I mean who doesn't love sesame chicken once in a while.

It reminds me of college and my twenties when I'd eat this after a drunken night out or the next day hungover. The family meal for 2 (beef broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, shrimp fried rice) was LITERALLY PERFECT. Delicious, fresh, flavorful, great portions. I also ordered the tofu with mushroom, and it was so amazing. Great sauces for all the dishes! Chinese restaurant fried rice is a hit or miss a lot, but this was a HIT. My new go-to Chinese food spot!! I'm so happy I took a chance on Lucky Star! It's now in my favorite foods/restaurant rotation when picking dinner.

They gave us sample of the different menu items to try before ordering; the aristocrat chicken was cooked so fresh that the meat falls off the bones.

We received extra samples of the lechon that they roast for four hours on Saturdays to take home, better believe we'll be ordering this next time as well. Thanks again and see you soon!

We came here specifically to try the Filipino food because the Chinese food you can get anywhere…read more When looking for this place, look for New Chinese Kitchen otherwise you'll miss it. It's across the street from Arby's in a small strip mall. You'll definitely have to make a U-Turn because getting into the lot is weird. Plenty of parking since it is a shared lot. We decided to do two combo meals plus the aristocrat chicken. When dining in, there are about 4 tables so it can be limited if there is a rush hour. The owner was very pleasant and he explained about the items before we looked at the menu. Lumpia was crispy and tasty. Garlic rice was a little oily but still good. Overall, it's about a 4. I would have given them a 5 but that rock hard crispy kare kare is hard to forget. However, I'll return to try other items. -crispy kare kare with garlic rice and lumpia 3 - I wanted to like this but the crispy kare kare was a huge let down. It was very tough to eat. I've had Filipino food many times and it was never this hard. It's a shame because the peanut sauce with the veggies and eggplant were delicious. -bbq pork belly (liempo) with garlic rice and lumpia 5 - I really liked the BBQ pork belly. Very easy to cut with a spoon. Meat was well seasoned. It is fatty, so it's best to eat it with rice. -aristocrat chicken 5 - highly recommended. Chicken is extremely flavorful even for leftovers. Meat is very moist and juicy. Nice balance of sweet and salty. I should have gotten the 10 pieces.

So, we ordered 4 things to go: the vegetarian egg rolls, Chicken Almond Ding, Chicken with pea…read morepods, and Orange Chicken. The eggs rolls had very little inside them, but were pleasant enough fried dough. All of the chicken dishes seem to have a pressed chicken--not sliced or real chicken. Pleasant enough, but kind of strange. The Almond Ding had separate almonds, which was nice and Chick with peadpods appeared to have a little bit of real mushrooms and some real pea pods in it--but they lacked fresh flavor. The sauce is very bland, and kind of like a globby-like texture. There's a lack of any Chinese vegetables. No Bok Choy, no bamboo shoots, very few water chestnuts, no green pepper. Just tons of pressed chicken, and a bland white sauce. My husband's Orange Chicken was supposed to be hot but was not. It was pleasant but same pressed chicken now breaded (much better cover for pressed chicken). Lack of veggies in all the dishes. Would we go back? Probably not. Ended up throwing half of it away. Honestly, Panda Express is probably just as good which is kind of sad.

The restaurant had a calm vibe with beautiful decor--perfect for a relaxed birthday celebration for my hubby. But let me tell you, the service was THE BEST. The staff was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing smoothly from start to finish. The food? Absolutely amazing. Every plate was generous, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. We left with full bellies, empty glasses, leftovers in hand, and big smiles on our faces. A couple of us enjoyed the bottomless mimosas--large pours and consistently refreshed by the staff (yes, there's a time limit, so don't get crazy!). Still, we were pleasantly surprised by how well everything was managed. Hubby was even given a birthday cheesecake which was so moist and free! Overall, we were truly impressed and will definitely be back!

This place has been around for a long time. No frills cafeteria style buffet. Service is basically to clear the table in between your courses. Impressively wide selection of items including some offerings in case you're not in the mood, including decent desert items. The sushi rolls I would say are more than decent, and, you can pick your ingredients for stir fry. Where do you see that any more for this price? Overall decent bang for the buck if you just need to get that no frills/"fusion"/hot pot, but straight up Chinese, Japanese, pan-Asian fix on. End note: I feel some of the highly critical reviews here are overly so given that this place does not pretend to be anything than what it is, and has managed to stay in business, in a very tough environment, for a very long time with very reasonable prices.

Unlike many buffets that feel neglected, everything here is fresh and well-organized. The tables are spotless, and the food isn't mixed together, which shows a lot of care. The atmosphere is another plus--the music is at a pleasant, low volume, not blaring. ​Despite it being 1 p.m. on a Sunday, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet, though people were slowly starting to trickle in. I highly recommend this place; it's a great example of a buffet done right.
